Again, about WordPress (kinda weird for me to be typing all this as this is blogsot, I felt I’m betraying them…wait a min, me no big fan of both of them). My task hasn’t completed yet- that is managing a blogsite for the CF. I have re-modified the layout, colors, fonts etc with much difficulty. For a person who have very limited knowledge about HTML,CSS. designing website (I’m a dental student, remember)…my approach is simple – trials n errors. I read from a wordpress-pro’s blog, that guy gave the most amazing WordPress tip that is creating more WordPress blogs. That’s right, that simple. At first, I was very sceptical, almost wanna ‘cekik’ that guy…I thot I will get some useful info when I read the title “The most amazing WordPress tip you’ll ever read in your life”. But it was just that – Build more.
Ignoring it, I went back to my work. Trials and errors. N it really didnt help that every changes I made, I have to wait for a min or two for the effect to come. I almost give up fixing a minor defect. I thot to myself, that is something I have to live with it. Not that anyone reading it will care alot about it. And then, somehow I managed to screw everything up. The details are best alone here. hehe. So, out of my frustrations – I backup things I cud, change everything to default setting n do it again. But this time, as I was re-modifying the blog, I find it easier than the first time. I kinda understand the meaning of the codes, and I kinda know what shud I do to get what I want. Codes, which still look like gibberish language, begin to make sense to me.
The blog is not perfect yet. Not exactly how I wanted at first. Heck,right now, I’m still waiting for some changes to come and it is taking so long…where is my calendar?!!~ But, I guess after talking to my media leader, he is right to say it is bloggable now and some changes can be added later.
Ok, so everybody…CF NNSMA’s blog is finally ‘open’. Please visit: http://sumphero.vcfnn.org and give ur comments, suggestions etc.
But, u shud know it is not really~ ready yet. The title havent fix yet. Waiting for the official name confirmation and banner design. The “About” page need some modification with the text – I wrote it but it is kinda crappy. The ‘verse of the day’ flash box is still out of allignment and where is my stupid calendar?!
Actually, this whole designing blog experience make me ponders a few things. The whole time, the fact I’m wasting my time n energy for something that is not mine (I didnt put in that much effort in my blog), I dont feel any negative emotions about it. In fact, I feel proud that I’m contributing something for the CF out of my own. Cuz I know, if this can help reaching out to others or maybe just maintaining the ties between our Christian students, it is worth it. And eventhough, I’m no genius in these matters, I did feel disappointed and wanting to give up, I feel in a way, God helped me. By knowing I’m doin something for Him, it encouraged me to push on. N yesterday, I read the Bible and came across this famous passage but I didnt dwell much into it before. Something like… “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in your weakness…..” 2Cor 12:14. God telling Paul that His grace will help him live with his illness (or his thorns)
I thought to myself, I am not going to say defeat or be crippled by my lack of knowledge. I’ll try n try again till the blog will be right.
